I only came here to see La Liz in caftans and big hair and violet eye shadow overload, playing her tabloid self, and I leave satisfied. Michael Caine transforms from Stella's (Susannah York) dream lover to a Peckham vulgarian husband, depending on a woman that happens to be next to him. Caine and Taylor are fun to watch, while Susannah York's Stella, looking like a Pre-Raphaelite princess, seems out of place surrounded by the garish furniture and over the top costumes. A really horrible production design that makes a great backdrop for Zee (Taylor) and she wallows in it. You cannot not like the soap opera quality of it. The film can't decide whether it's a drama or a comedy, but I guess Susannah York's character somehow keeps it balanced, preventing it from being utterly silly.
